Greatest Science Fiction Film Tournament Week 35: Round 3

Round 3 continues here. The complete elimination bracket can be seen here. There was one statistical upset this week as Watchmen (2009) edged out Metropolis (1927) by a single vote. There was also a tie between Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), so we used the round one results as the tie breaking factor and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) has advanced to the next round.

Greatest Science Fiction Film Tournament Week 33: Round 3 begins

Round 3 of 8 begins, winnowing the final 64 contenders down to 32. The voting starts here. The complete elimination bracket can be seen here. Last week’s statistical upset was Island of Lost Souls (1932) losing to Charly (1968). For two straight weeks, none of the brackets were truly “close,” although that will probably happen more and more often as we get further and further into the tournament with fewer and fewer contenders.
